Longmont is a Boulder County city on St. Vrain Creek with a long history in data storage and tech manufacturing, its own city-owned electric and fiber utility, and easy access to the Front Range foothills. Flood risk, hail, Chinook winds, and dry air are the local threats to drives and computers. When one fails, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label after you confirm online.
In September 2013, days of extreme rain sent St. Vrain Creek over its banks and flooded parts of Longmont, cutting the city in half for a time and damaging homes and businesses. Flash flooding remains a risk along the creek and other drainages, especially after heavy summer storms. Keep computers, NAS units, and backup drives off basement floors, store a backup outside the house, and never power on a device that has been in floodwater.
Longmont sits on the plains just east of the foothills, where strong Chinook and downslope winds can bring down limbs and power lines, and spring and summer storms bring hail and lightning. The air is dry for most of the year, so static shocks are common, and wildfire smoke from Front Range fires can settle in during dry seasons. Run important equipment on a UPS, touch grounded metal before handling drives, and clean computer vents after smoky stretches.

Data recovery in Longmont — common questions
I work around storage hardware and want to swap the circuit board on my dead drive. Is that a good idea?+
Usually not. Modern drives store calibration data unique to each unit on the board, so a board from another drive rarely works and can make recovery harder. Opening a drive outside a cleanroom can also damage the platters. Power it off and confirm your case online, and for a single device you pay the flat $1,200 only if we recover your data.

No. ClearQuote has no office, lab, or drop-off point in Colorado or anywhere else. It is a nationwide mail-in service. Confirm online and ship from any carrier location in Longmont with the free prepaid label.

No. ClearQuote is a mail-in service — there's no drop-off required. We email you a free prepaid shipping label, you send the device from anywhere in Longmont, and we handle the recovery in our ISO-certified cleanroom.
How much does data recovery cost in Longmont?+
One flat $1,200 for the consumer devices we handle — hard drives, SSDs, phones, and cards — quoted before you ship. There are no per-gigabyte fees and no diagnostic charge, and you pay $0 if we can't recover your data.
